Problem 1 005

This document summarizes an example that verifies the SAP2000 software. The example uses a portal frame model with different load cases and support conditions to test SAP2000's ability to model: 1) settlement and rotation of normal supports, 2) skewed supports, 3) spring supports, and 4) bending deformations. Six models are analyzed and the results are compared to independent hand calculations, showing an exact match in all cases.

EXAMPLE 1-005
FRAME - DISPLACEMENT LOADING
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Using a portal frame, this example verifies SAP2000 for settlement and rotation
of normal supports, skewed supports (settlement only) and spring supports. Note
that for spring supports, the grounded end of the spring is displaced or rotated.
Six different models are created. The models are identical, except for the loading
and the support condition at joint 4 as shown in the figure below. The results for
various support reactions in each model are compared with independent hand
calculations.
Important Note: Only bending deformations are considered in the analysis.
Shear and axial deformations are ignored. In SAP2000 this is achieved by setting
the property modification factor for area to 100,000 and setting the property
modification factor for shear area to 0.
